Robot Boats Prepare for Trans-Atlantic Challenge
     


Robots entering the 2008 Microtransat
competition will set sail on the Atlantic Ocean from Viana do
Castelo, Portugal sometime after September 29. Hopefully at least one of
the robots will make it to the finish line, located between 10 degrees
and 25
degrees North and 60 degrees West. A TimesOnline
article  offers more details on the race and some of the robots. One
robot, the
Beagle B, generates 30 watts of power from solar panels to power an
array of sensors, actuators, and 400Mhz Gumstix CPU running Linux. Other
competitors include the FEUP Autonomous
Sailboat with its composite hull designed by a Portuguese kayak
builder, the Mark III
Roboboat from the United States, and the Shoogle Nifty II
from the UK.
